I feel like my review for this is long overdue, and at this point I’ve sunken enough hours into this game to have seen most of it.

SEUM: Speedrunners from Hell is a first-person platformer from the croatian dev-team “Pine Studio”. Other than a bunch of Point and Click/ Puzzle games, this is their first and only FPS and man, what an entry it is into the genre.

If the name hasn’t given it away already, SEUM is all about speedrunning. Leaderboards, timers that measure into the milliseconds, replays, short levels, a movement system with just the right amount of depth to it. If you enjoy speedrunning and competing against other people on tightly filled leaderboards, this is your game.

Talking about the movement, it is what makes or breaks a good First-Person Platformer for me. The game can be as pretty as it wants to be, if the movement isn’t fun we are going to have a bad time. And this really is one of the strengths of SEUM. It’s fast paced, tight, and just feels good.

If you have any interest in First-Person Platformers, or want a good entry into the genre, do yourself a favor and try out this game. The guys at Pine Studio keep supporting the game with additional content, bugfixes, etc. and work in close contact with the community to make the game as good as possible. They really do deserve it.
